Wow, I've never heard that one before! Yellow streak when you wipe the brush? So you think that it was just a poor quality of metal used to make the brush fennel (I'm not sure how to spell it either) ? Maybe a chemical reaction between the metal and acrylic liquid or the brush cleaner? Sometimes you get what you pay for I guess. I'll add that one to the list. I do only gels now as well, but, I never know when I might have to pull out that acrylic education. It seems a shame to forget 20 years of acrylic education. I'll keep it stored in my brain files until I go senile. Totally senile that is, I'm already part of the way there.

I don't know if it was something in the metal or what. It was a cheapy from Sally's. It did that as soon as I started using it too. I always had good luck with the Entity and Atwood brushes. Atwood brushes where about $20 and Entity $60. Glad I don't have to buy those brushes anymore. Gel is all I do now. > >Angie Wingerter > > > > > ________________________________ From: Katherine Fahrig <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Fri, October 1, 2010 9:17:01 AM >Subject: Re: NailTech:: Myth or truth? > > >I thought that she was asking why her acrylic product yellowed not her brush. >I've never had a brush yellow, my brushes have always been Russian sable and >I've never seen them turn yellow.
